Six Arrested, Three on the Run After Alleged Gang Rape of Two JHS Students in Kasoa Ofanko

Kasoa Ofanko – Six suspects have been arrested, while three others remain at large following the alleged gang rape of two Junior High School (JHS) students last Friday, September 21st. The incident occurred after school sports activities at Gada D/A Basic School.

Reports indicate that the victims,  who went to watch the games, were walking home late in the evening when they were ambushed by a group of nine boys. The suspects allegedly hid under a dark bridge along the route,one of whom is a former student waiting to attack the girls.

While some of the girls managed to escape, one was caught and assaulted. A friend who attempted to rescue her was also overpowered and raped by the group.

After the traumatic ordeal, the victims informed their parents, who subsequently reported the incident to the school on Monday. The headteacher attempted to contact the alleged perpetrators but discovered they were absent from school. The matter was then escalated to local chiefs, but discussions at the palace turned chaotic, prompting the case to be referred to the police.

The parents of the victims have demanded a thorough investigation, urging authorities not to sweep the case under the carpet. They are calling for justice and appropriate punishment for those involved. Additionally, parents have appealed to the Ghana Education Service (GES) management to convene a Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) meeting to address the incident and educate students to prevent such acts in the future.

Police are currently investigating the case and have assured the public that efforts are underway to apprehend the remaining suspects. The community remains in shock, with calls for increased security and measures to protect students from such heinous crimes.
